I sure would like to see how this could not be a disaster.

Let's consider it official: These are my Keys To Victory: 1. Write at least 2500 words each day I write, which will mean I need write only on twenty of the month's thirty days. 2. Avoid excessive self-editing. See, I just wrote that last sentence three times before settling on that wording, I'm ...

On the relationship between relationship and game.

Finally, I tie up the next entry in this series:

Perhaps I should be nicer to her for a little while.

I seem to be the embodiment of evil for this poor young lady's subconscious. I swear, I did nothing to her, other than the usual stuff. And I only met her a few weeks ago and hung out with her like twice. I think this is a sign we're gonna get MARRIED!

…tiny American flags for all!

I'm a sucker for emotional scenes, so the homecoming of the USS Iwo Jima had me on the verge of tears early. My usual defense against public crying is ironic detachment (it's a skill), so I'm fortunate that the scene gave me all I needed to launch into full snark ...

According to Google (and are YOU going to try to dispute them?), I am the #1 Scott Jennings on the Internet, finally overtaking that presumed wanker Scott Jennings who does a lot of video game stuff I'd never be interested in. He can keep it. Seriously, I used to be ...

Hell, phrase anything as a dare, and I’m in.

Will this be my year for NaNoWriMo? Will this be the way I find out once and for all if I have the ability to write on top of the ability to talk about writing? Who's with me?

An open letter to Corey Brown.

Sunday, October 19th, 2003

Dear Corey, I don't know if it makes sense to thank you for taking the full verbal assault you did tonight from the two men who were offended that you and I used the word "nigger" in the context of our escalating game of offensive jokes with our friends tonight. But ...

Very quickly, because I need to be in bed.

1. On Thursday, I bought a hunter green 1994 Nissan Sentra LE, 148k miles, all power, cruise, sunroof, in good shape, drives like a dream. Book was $2200, he was asking $1800, I took it down for $1600. (I'm an excellent negotiator.) This came after a pretty long ordeal of ...

Today’s free resume tip.
